Your water heater plays a key role in keeping your home comfortable. From warm showers to clean dishes, it delivers the hot water you rely on daily. Yet, most homeowners don’t think about their water heater until it stops working. At Prime Heating & Cooling, we help homeowners across Rhode Island and Massachusetts stay comfortable year-round by keeping their heating and hot water systems running efficiently.
Choosing the Right Water Heater
There are two main types of residential water heaters—tank and tankless.
-
Tank water heaters store and heat a large volume of water in advance. They are affordable and simple to install, but can use more energy over time.
-
Tankless water heaters, also called on-demand systems, heat water only when you need it. They’re more energy-efficient and save space, making them an excellent choice for modern homes.
If you’re upgrading or replacing your current system, consider your household size, water usage, and energy goals. Our team at Prime Heating & Cooling can help you compare options to find the most efficient system for your home.
Signs It’s Time for a Replacement
Even the best systems don’t last forever. Common signs your water heater needs repair or replacement include:
-
Inconsistent or insufficient hot water
-
Rust-colored water
-
Strange noises from the tank
-
Leaks or puddles around the base
-
A unit that’s over 10 years old
Ignoring these issues can lead to higher energy bills or costly water damage.
